This print showcases the ancient art of King Salumeli making a libation, dating back to the 11th-9th century BC. The stone carving, preserved in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara, Turkey, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Syria. In this bas-relief artwork from ancient Syria, we witness King Salumeli pouring a libation with utmost reverence and devotion. The intricate details carved into the stone bring to life the solemnity and significance of this ritual act. As he stands tall and regal, his actions symbolize an offering to deities or ancestors as an expression of gratitude or supplication. The craftsmanship displayed in this relief is truly remarkable. Every line and contour on King Salumeli's figure speaks volumes about the skillful hands that sculpted it centuries ago. This piece serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical preservation.
